A small bit of extra development and backing could have made it very good .. IMO of course

However, to me it just seems crazy money to have all these newer features added to an old ECU which then makes it more expensive than equivalent modern ECUs (and with most modern ECUS you get a new loom too so more saving).
Its only expensive due to the way its marketed , the technology isnt expensive or complicated

Yes I have developed a coil on plug adaptor for my personal car.
I will be doing a resto thread detailing my car soon

The old secs monitor rights and design are being transfered to a PF official trader including updated software that sorts that out.
I am sure that trader will make an announcment very soon

I like this !!!!!!
I have often thought about adapting an existing BMW system onto the YB but it isnt very good on the BMW so will be shit on a YB... lol

Only in so much that on some cars, the heat of the engine can destroy the coils over time but those cars that have that problem are using shit coils in the first place

In fact this is the ideal ignition system if implemented properly.

I like this too !!
I think I will have a go at making one of these myself too !

very intrested in this ........ was tempted to go for autronic or vipec but if its possible to run it via l8 ?

anymore info simon ,

The existing MSD coilpack driver board will run coil on plugs no problem.
Except, the coils are wired in pairs so effectively its a wasted spark system.

The one I have made for my own car is truly sequential
